INTRODUCTION

The atmospheric chemistry of non-methane biogenic hydrocarbons has received muchattention because of their significant global emissions, high photochemical reactivity, and theirhigh aerosol forming potential. Although the potential of aerosol formation from terpenes wasnoted as early as 1960 by Went1, the magnitude of the natural contribution by biogenics to theparticulate burden in the atmosphere is still not well characterized. In this paper, we will describethe feasibility of a predictive technique for the formation of secondary aerosols from biogenichydrocarbons. An advantage of this approach is that it has the ability to embrace the range ofdifferent atmospheric chemical and physical conditions that bring about secondary aerosolformation.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

Gas-particle samples for this study were generated in a large outdoor 190 m3 Teflon filmchamber (Kamens et al.,1995, Fan et al., 1996). All experiments were carried out under darknessto exclude photochemical effects. Rural background air was used to charge the chamber withoutnot any additional injections of oxides of nitrogen. Secondary aerosols were created by the

reaction of α-pinene with O3 in the chamber. O3 from an electric discharge ozone generator wasadded to the chamber over the course of an hour with initial concentrations ranging, depending onthe experiment, from 0.25 to 0.65 ppm. It was measured using a Bendex chemilumenesent O3

meter (model 8002, Roncerverte,WV) and calibrated via gas phase titration using a NIST traceableNO tank. O3 addition to the chamber was followed by volatilizing, depending on the experiment,0.4 to 1 mL of liquid α-pinene into the chamber atmosphere. The gas-phase concentration of α-pinene was monitored with an online gas chromatograph (Shimadzu Model 8A, column: 1.5 m, 3.2mm stainless steel packed with Supelco 5% Bentanone 34) using a flame ionization detector, andcalibrated with a known concentration of a mixture of toluene and propylene.

Gas and particle phase α-pinene products were simultaneously collected with a samplingtrain that consisted of an upstream 5-channel annular denuder, followed by a 47mm Teflon glassfiber filter (type T60A20, Pallflex Products Corp., Putnam, CT, USA) and another denuder. In oneof the experiments, a parallel sampling system consisting of a filter, followed bv a denuder wasalso used. The details of the sample workup procedure and quantitative analysis have beenreported in previous manuscripts Kamens et al., 1995 and Fan et al., 1996). Carbonyl products ofα-pinene-O3 aerosols were derivatized by O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxyl-aminehydrochloride (PFBHA) as described by Yu et al.,1997, and carboxylic acids, usingpentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBBr) as a derivatizing agent as described by Chien et al., (1998).(±)-α-Pinene, O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA),pentafluorobenzylbromide (PFBBr), decafluorobibenzyl (internal standard for derivatization), cis-pinonic acid, n-hexanoic acid, n-octanoic acid, hexane-1,6-dionic acid, and heptane-1,7-dionic acidwere all purchased from Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI).

In one of the experiments the particle size distribution and aerosol concentration forparticles ranging from 0.018 to 1.0 µm were monitored by an Electrical Aerosol Analyzer (EAA)(Thermo Systems, Inc., Model 3030, Minneapolis, MN). Total aerosol number concentration wasalso measured by a Condensation Nuclei Counter (CNC, Model Rich 100, Environment OneCorp., Schenectady, NY).

A GAS-PARTICLE MECHANISM

As a result of new aerosol compositional information(Jang and Kamens, 1999, Yu et al., 1998) we havedeveloped an exploratory model for predicting aerosolyields from the reaction of α−pinene with ozone in theatmosphere. Reaction pathways (Scheme1 and 2) wereconstructed from experimentally measured productswhich include: pinonaldehyde, norpinonaldehyde,pinonic acid, norpinonic acid, pinic acid, 2,2-dimethylcyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, and hydroxyand aldehyde substituted pionaldehydes and hydroxypinonic acids. To simplify the mechanism in this study,six generalized semivolatile products were defined: 1.“pinald” to represent pinonaldehyde and norpinonaldehyde, 2. “pinacid” to represent pinonic andnorpinonic acids, 3. “diacid” for pinic acid and norpinic acid, (2,2-dimethylcyclobutane1,3-dicarboxylic acid), 4. “oxy-pinald” for hydroxy and aldehyde substituted pinonaldehydes (calledoxo-substituted), 5. “P3” for 2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl-3-acetylcarboxylicacid, (a pinic acidprecursor), and 6. “oxy-pinacid” for hydroxy and aldehyde substituted pinonic acids. A lastgroup, frag, was employed to account for volatile oxygenated products.

Scheme 1

A kinetic mechanism was used todescribe the gas-phase reactions of α-pinenewith ozone. One of the products, pinic acid,a dicarboxylic acid, has a subcooled liquidvapor pressure of ~10-6 mmHg at 295K,which may be low enough to initiate selfnucleation. More volatile products such aspinonic acid and pinonaldehyde, will notself-nucleate, but will partition onto existingparticles. Gas and aerosol phase reactions arelinked together in one chemical mechanismand a chemical kinetics solver (Jeffries,1991) is used to predict reactant and productconcentrations over time. Gas phase rateconstants are available for a number of these reactions (Atkinson, 1997). These reactions were thenadded to the inorganic chemistry reactions of the Carbon Bond 4 photochemical mechanism [Geryet al., 1989). Reactions of Criegee 1 and 2 biradicals in Scheme 1 & 2, and OH attack on α-pinene are partially described below as:

Partitioning is treated as an equilibrium between the rate of particle up-take and the rate ofparticle loss of individual semivolatile α-pinene reaction products. The ratio of the rate constantsfor the forward and backward reactions ikon/

gas-particle equilibrium of a given partitioning compound i.

iKp = ikon/ikoff (11)

It is assumed that secondary aerosols are liquid-like, and iKp can be calculated from gas-liquid(absorptive) partitioning theory, as described by Pankow (1994).

log iKp = - log iPoL- log iγom +constant (12)

From estimated vapor pressures, iPoL (Kamens et al., 1999) and calculated activity

coefficients, iγom, which are close to one in these aerosols (Jang et al., 1997) iKp can be calculatedfor the reaction products. The rate constant, koff, for loss of a compound from the liquid particlephase to the gas phase has the form koff = β e-Ea/R. β can be evaluated and the activation energy,Ea estimated (Kamens et al., 1999). This then permits an estimate of the rate of absorption ikon

from the gas phase.

In the model seed nuclei provide initial liquid volumes for gas-liquid partitioning. Theproduct compounds that actually participate in the self nucleation process are as yet unknown.One possibility is that the stabilized Criegee radical (stabcrieg1 and stabcrieg2) reacts with thecarbonyl portion of product compounds to produce an extremely low pressure secondary ozonideproduct. These types of products have been observed from an O3- propylene system by Niki andco-workers (1997) and more recently by Neeb et al., 1995) for larger molecules]. It is alsopossible to form an anhydride from the reaction of the Criegee with a dicarboxylic acid (Neeb etal., 1996). In the α−pinene case, these products would have molecular weights of ~350, and be ofextremely low volatility. By techniques described previously (Kamens et al., 1999) vaporpressures lower than 10-15 torr are estimated, and ~one second after the start of the experiments inthis study, would exceed supersaturation by ~1000 fold. This suggests these compounds wouldmost certainly self nucleate. In our mechanism these are called “seed1” particles. We assumedthat stabilized Criegees would react with all carbonyl products. For example:

stabcrieg1 + pinald à seed1 (13)

This process was not very important for the experiments in this study, given thebackground nucleation levels that resulted during the injection of α-pinene into the chamber.Predictions, using the model developed here, however, suggest a strong influence of these seeds onparticle formation when α-pinene has concentrations of ~5 ppb.Gas phase products migrate to theparticle phase and then create more mass for additional partitioning.

Once seed surfaces are available, the migration of gas phase products such as pinonic acid(pinacidgas) on to seed1 particles to give pinacid particle phase (pinacidpart) and diacid gas producton to the newly formed pinacidpart to form pinic diacid particle phase (diacidpart) can thus berepresented as:

pinacidgas+ seed1 à pinacidpart+ seed1 koff = 19.4 min-1 (14)pinacidpart+ diacidgas à pinacidpart+ diacidpart koff = 68 min-1 (15)

To conserve mass, the amount of diacidpart and pinacidpart mass appears on both sides of theequation. To maintain equilibrium, both diacidpart and pinacidpart back reacts or “off-gases” fromthe particle to give back gas phase pinonic acid. A similar set of reactions can be written for all of

the partitioning products.

pinacidpart → pinacidgas koff = 3.73 × 1014 exp (-9525/T) min-1 (16)

diacidpart → diacidgas koff = 3.73 × 1014 exp (-10285/T) min-1 (17)

MODEL AND CHAMBER DATA COMPARISONS

Aerosol formation from the model is compared with aerosol production determined from190 m3 dark outdoor chamber experiments. The actual rate constants and mechanism used aresuimmarized in Table 1. The main updates since our first publication of the mechanism (Kamenset al, 1999) are:

1. An increase in the rate constant for the OH attack on pinonaldehyde from 2.4x10-12 cm3

molecule-1 sec-1 (as per to Kwok and Atkinson, 1995) to their more recent value of ~5x10-

12 cm3 molecule-1 sec-1.

2. We replaced the reaction

α-pinene + OH à 0.6 pinonald + 0.1 oxy-pinald + 0.3 frag

with

α-pinene + OH à ap-ooap-oo + ap-oo à 0.6*pinald + HCHO + 0.2*oxypinald

This was done to more easily add NO oxidation reactions by the hydroxy-peroxy-radical,ap-oo. In addition, the previously used lumped reaction may over estimate thepinonaldehyde yield from OH attack on αα-pinene in the absence of NOx.

3. We lowered the kon values for all absorbing species because it is more appropriated touse the the average molecular weight of the aerosol in converting from Kp units of

Given the offsetting nature of the above changes, model simulations vs. experimental datafor α-pinene, O3 and aerosol yields for a warm (295K) and a cool outdoor experiment (285K)showed little difference (Figure 1) between our originally published simulations and the updatedmechanism (Kamens et al, 1999.) Approximately 20-40% of the reacted α-pinene carbon appearsin the aerosol phase. Under cool conditions (285K), both measurements and model predictionssuggest that pinonaldehyde is the major gas phase product, while pinic acid, pinonic acid, hydroxy-pinonaldehydes, and hydroxy-pinonic acids are the major aerosol phase products. Under warmconditions, the predicted major gas phase product are pinonaldehyde, hydroxy-pinonaldehydes,some pinonic acid, and a trace of dicarboxylic acid. The particle phase was dominated by pinicacid followed by pinonic acids, hydroxy-pinonaldehydes, and hydroxypinonic acids. Theimportant observation is that the aerosol composition seems to differ radically between warm andcool experiments and this is consistent with the observations of Jang and Kamens (1999).

During the summer of 1999 two relatively low concentration experiments were conductedand as shown in Figures 3 and 4 these data are fit reasonably well the model in its current form.

Given the above mechanism, is was not difficult to implement a day time model that wouldinvolve the oxidation of NO to NO2 and the formation of PAH analogue compounds. What isunknown is the quantum yields for propinaldehyde type compounds, so as a default, the quantumyields and cross sections for methyglyoxal were used. Hydroxy-nitrated α-pinene products (OH-apNO3) and PAN analog compounds were partitioned to the particle phase as per the methodologydescribed above. Although these reactions are not completely described in by the dark mechanismin Table 1, our fit to a daytime experiment with 0.97 ppm of α-pinene and 0.44 ppnm NOx isshown in Figure 5. It is clear that are current mechanism does not characterized all of theprocesses involved in the oxidation of NOx and we also over predict the amount of ozone that isformed. What is encouraging is that we show the same trend in the ozone behavior as the data, andmodel gives a reasonable fit to the fitter based particle data (Figure 6). We also show reasonablefits to product pinonaldehyde in both the gas and the particle phases. Product model data alsosuggest that nitrated compounds can dominated the particle phase
